Sure.
However, for good or ill, the modern web and browser have evolved into a platform-ish thing (and trust me, as an OS engineer I have been involved in extensive arguments with browser folks about how a Browser is NOT an Operating System).
And while I despair of the absurdities of the modern "web tech stack", a mechanism for delivering content other than hypertext documents that works much better than Javascript, yet remains platform neutral is, to my mind, a good thing.
